1/14 Tamiya Knight Hauler w MFC-01 Full Build 

I have every intention of keeping up the videos!! Thank You!

I built my Knight Hauler with the bigger speaker box, I get regularly asked why the sound is so much better (deeper) than the other MFC01 equipped trucks at our local meetings that used the standard speaker box. But yes, that does preclude having a beautiful interior.

I usually sell the trucks. Most of the time I build them the way I want to but occasionally one is being built for a specific customer.

Back in the day Tamiya had a light kit that included switches in the back of the cab. If its one of those you can probably find instructions online. Some of the older MFC's do not work with digital radios so if you have one of those you can email me for info...

Bumpers would fit right on. Rear Grand Hauler style fenders would need to have holes drilled.

Doesn't the MFC have a VR for turning down the cab shaker? VR2?

I will do another one more custom with an SFR-1 at some point.

I will do a multi color body paint video soon.

I do that on a lot of my videos. Check out the Grand Hauler for novices series!

Wanted to add the same. Also using 80T motors for these Tamiya trucks. Thanks to the transmission, it still can drive pretty fast, if you want to. Side effect: The current is also lower and the battery will last even longer (not that this is really an issue, but still).

I have used 90 turn motors but still prefer the 45 or 55 turn motors for most of my trucks. Better all around than the 80 turn in my opinion. The 80 turn has some issues with the MFC in reverse (not enough power).

You can install either MFC in any truck. The MFC-03 has Euro truck sounds and a few things operate differently but fit and operation are fine.

@@HobbyconceptsLLC ah thanks for response sir 😊

Yes, you could. You need to center the left stick using the centering screw in the lower left corner of that stick. Then you can program the radio like I show in my DX6e programming video. Note that when you center the left stick it no longer works for airplanes unless you set it back. If you plan on using the radio for both airplanes and trucks I personally would not want to change that back and forth all the time and would get a different radio for the truck.

@@HobbyconceptsLLC thanks for the quick reply! Love your videos!

Something nice about having a video!

I assembled the transmission 5 times with only being able to use first or third gear, second and third, or first and second. After your video now I have access to all three gears should I want it to go super fast in third gear. I am also using a basic brushed motor speed controller because I can't use the mfc with the remote I prefer.

I like your You Tube name!

@@HobbyconceptsLLC why thank you kind sir 🫡
